Richmond Hill. MINI Canada is pleased to announce
pricing today on its all-new 2016 MINI Convertible: the MINI Cooper
Convertible will debut with an MSRP of $27,990, while the Cooper S
Convertible will have an MSRP of $32,240. In conjunction with this
announcement, MINI Canada is also pleased to introduce the fastest,
most powerful convertible it has ever built, the new MINI John
Cooper Works Convertible.

As one of the newest additions to the MINI product line, the new MINI
Convertible represents the first open top MINI to be powered by BMW
Group modular engines. The premium four-seater soft-top convertible is
both practical and customizable, delivering unlimited open-air
motoring fun. The latest generation Cooper Convertible arrives in
Canada without any increase in price over its predecessor, while the
Cooper S Convertible debuts with a very modest $90 increase compared
to the previous generation.

The MINI Cooper S Convertible is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged
4-cylinder engine with 189 hp, while the 1.5-litre 3-cylinder
turbocharged engine of the MINI Cooper Convertible has an output of
134 hp. Both the standard 6-speed manual transmissions and the
optionally available 6-speed Steptronic transmissions have been newly
developed for the latest MINI generation.

Open Air Performance, Redefined - The new MINI John Cooper
Works Convertible.

In addition to the Cooper and Cooper S models, MINI has developed its
fastest, most powerful open-top yet with the new MINI John Cooper
Works Convertible. Similar to the recently launched MINI John Cooper
Works 3 door, the new MINI John Cooper Works Convertible is specially
tuned for high performance on the track and on the road with output
figures of 228 horsepower and 236 ft-lb of torque, eclipsing the
predecessor JCW Convertible figures by, respectively, 10% and 23%, and
propelling the new JCW from 0-100 km/h in just 6.6 seconds (vs. 6.9
seconds for its predecessor) . The John Cooper Works Convertible will
debut with an MSRP of $39,740 a decrease in price of $1,160 vs. its
predecessor, combining exception performance and value.

As with all MINI models in the product line up, the new MINI
Convertible is made for individualization, with a choice of 11
exterior color options, including the new Caribbean Aqua and Melting
Silver colors, and two exclusive exterior colors – JCW-only Rebel
Green and the exclusive MINI Yours Lapisluxury Blue. With the
additional availability of a number of premium seating options such as
the new Malt Brown Chester leather with diamond-stitching reminiscent
of classic English Chesterfield sofas, the new MINI Convertible sets
the standard in the premium convertible market.

The new MINI Convertible comes equipped with a standard “Always Open
Timer,” providing convertible enthusiasts with the ability to
calculate the number of hours they’ve driven with the top down. It
will also be available with the MINI Connected infotainment system
including a 6.5-inch high-resolution screen, or an upgraded 8.8-inch
display including navigation and a clever rain warning app, which
notifies drivers of impending storms so they can prepare their vehicle
for inclement weather.

The new MINI Convertible will go on sale in Canada in March 2016,
with the John Cooper Works variant becoming available in April.
